FIG. 16. Schematic northeast-southwest profile of the Pacific slope in the
porphyry copper belt of southern Perú, showing the relative positions of the
documented landform surfaces: the Altos de Camilaca (I) and Pampa Lagunas (II)
pediplains and equivalents, the Cerro de las Chulpas (III), Pampa Sitana (IV),
and Cerro Sagollo (V) pediments and equivalents. The landform chronology is
constrained by 40Ar-39Ar dates for Tertiary ignimbrite ash
flows, and the age of supergene mineralization is summarized by 40Ar-39Ar
dates for alunite group minerals for mines (solid black square) or deposits and
prospects (light gray square).
